Stephen Curry's worst shooting night of all time came in a playoff game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Playing against his arch-nemesis LeBron James, Curry put in a shambolic performance, scoring 19 points on 5-23 shooting from the field. He shot 2-15 from downtown, converting only 13.3% of his shots from the deep.

The other splash brother, Klay Thompson, had a stellar outing, as the sharpshooter made 50% of his field goals in a 34-point effort.

Curry's poor shooting resulted in a 95-93 loss to the Golden State Warriors in Game 2 of the Finals series, which helped the Cleveland Cavaliers restore parity. The Warriors eventually won the series 4-2, but this game was a major reason behind Stephen Curry not winning the Finals MVP over Andre Iguodala.
